Sep 12, 2023
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], September 12 : The actress-turned-Trinamool Congress MP Nusrat Jahan arrived at the office of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Kolkata on Tuesday morning as the federal agency summoned her in the case related to her association as a director with a shady financial entity which allegedly duped senior citizens of several crores of rupees by promising them residential flats at reasonable rates.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned Nusrat to its office in the CGO Complex at Salt Lake on Tuesday for questioning on her connection with the said entity 7 Sense Infrastructure Private Ltd.
The MP is a former director of the company, according to the complaint.
The person helping the senior citizens who have filed a complaint against the Trinamool leader is BJP’s Shankudeb Panda.
However, the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken a swipe at the TMC MP with the party State Secretary Agnimitra Paul saying that Nusrat Jahan will be punished if there is any proof against her.
"This is the Modi Government, you can be a chief minister, a politician or a film star, but you will not be spared if you cheat people... Retired people gave crores of rupees of their life savings to Nusrat Jahan to get a flat. They got neither the flat nor the money. The investigation is underway, if there is proof, Nusrat Jahan will be punished," Paul said.
